Students at Bucks County Technical High School in Fairless Hills took home nine gold medals, nine silver medals, and 10 bronze medals in the recent SkillsUSA state competition.

SkillsUSA, a national nonprofit organization that serves teachers and students involved in trade, technical, and service skills occupations, announced results from its annual competitions held in Hershey from Apr. 18-20.

Students from Bucks County Technical High School, Middle Bucks Institute of Technology in Jamison, and Upper Bucks County Technical School in Bedminster competed in the contests. Results from Middle Bucks and Upper Bucks Technical weren’t available.

Here are the names of the students from Bucks County Technical High School who won awards:

From June 23-27, students with gold medals will compete in the national competition, known as the “Super Bowl” of technical education in the United States in Kansas City.

None of the technical schools in Bucks has a sports program. SkillsUSA adviser Craig Meyers, a teacher at the Bucks County Technical High School, said that for students, competing in SkillsUSA is like “our football team.”
